Mon, 20 May 2013 22:01:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=230960#comment-1728559there’s a sophistic (not to be mistaken for sophisticated) argument that some of the laws were pure laws about how to live (kill gays), and some of them were just social laws about setting yourself apart from the pagans, because pagans wore blended fabrics. and of course, god in his infinite wisdom didn’t say which are which.

they certainly do have an answer for everything, don’t they…

It takes a special type of hypocritical dumbass to claim to hold one verse in a set of laws above all the other laws while pretending that any of them matter when they themselves don’t follow all those laws. . Either go by ALL the laws, or none of them. I don’t think they were meant to be utilized buffet-style.

Sun, 19 May 2013 16:00:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=230960#comment-1727895I guess the problem is that they’re fragmentary references to incredibly stupid supposed “arguments” made by the anti-marriage forces that didn’t make a lick of sense to begin with, even in context.

If anything it shows the absurdity of some peoples supposed beliefs. At least read the instruction manual properly. It might save you some embarrassment.

Sat, 18 May 2013 23:16:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=230960#comment-1727676 They probably live in areas (rural/suburban) where they’ve had little exposure to different kinds of people and viewpoints and have absorbed their wretched parent’s views for the time being. One of Takei’s best responses pointed that out. Some will move on as they get away from their folks, some may not.

Some of the worst people are measured, polite, and long on social graces.

Sat, 18 May 2013 22:15:00 +0000http://boingboing.net/?p=230960#comment-1727650Maybe because they are both completely vapid cliches? Maybe because “YOLO” itself is completely annoying (and actually false if you are a Christian who believes in Judgement Day and eternal life in heaven or hell after earthly death). Honestly, Mr. “Because —- It. Right to do it” seems to have put more thought into what he was trying to say.

try:
“eaten by bears bible”
“smash babies rocks”
“piss wall bible”
…and you too can look like a bible scholar!
